Fill Out and Submit Your Application
To apply for incentives on customized, express and demand response projects, you can either complete and submit your application using the Energy Management Online Application Tool or download the forms, complete and send them in. If you’re submitting an application with a Customized Solution that is not yet calculated by the Online Tool (as is the case for some HVAC-related Solutions) you can use the Customized Calculation Tool to help you document these savings for your project. If you have multiple sites or projects, you can also use the worksheet provided to make the process easier.
As a reminder, for Customized Solutions, please do not commence installation until you receive the project approval letter from SCE.
Multiple Sites or Projects?
Use the Multiple Site / Multiple Project Worksheet (Excel)
Follow the Defined Process and Receive Your Incentive
What happens next? Once you’ve submitted your application, you can use these helpful flowcharts for the type of solution you’ve selected to see what happens next and to learn about the steps you need to take to receive your incentive.

*Under California law, models of certain types of appliances, for example, refrigerators, dishwashers and clothes washers etc., must be certified to the California Energy Commission before being sold or offered for sale in the state. The Energy Commission maintains a database of those appliances, found at the following link: www.appliances.energy.ca.gov. Before purchasing this type of appliance, please consult the Energy Commission's database to see if the particular model of the appliance you want to buy is in the database. Not all products listed in this database are eligible for utility rebates as they do not all meet the higher energy performance requirements of the utility programs. Please refer to Southern California Edison rebate applications to find energy saving products eligible for rebate.
